https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmy7_l14U8 infohash:172763F29910F7BC555DF517F34B854DC2B18E27 collapse http://www.collapsenet.com/ https://old.reddit.com/r/collapse/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ruppert "On April 13, 2014, Ruppert was found dead in Napa County at home just outside of the Calistoga, CA city limits. Ruppert died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head" " Collapse - the film Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new president will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Meet Michael Ruppert, a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness, at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. Director Chris Smith has shown an affinity for outsiders in films like American Movie and The Yes Men. In Collapse, he departs stylistically from his past documentaries by interviewing Ruppert in a format that recalls the work of Errol Morris and Spalding Gray. Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate about the issue of peak oil, the concern raised by scientists since the seventies that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesn't hold back at sounding an alarm, portraying an apocalyptic future. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded, and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments. Collapse also serves as a portrait of a loner. Over the years, Ruppert has stood up for what he believes in despite fierce opposition. He candidly describes the sacrifices and motivators in his life. While other observers analyze details of the economic crisis, Ruppert views it as symptomatic of nothing less than the collapse of industrial civilization itself. "

Cryptocurrency: EARN-IT Threatens Entire Internet, Kill This Bill Dead Now!!!

https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ffoqwk/the_earn_it_act_wil… https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ffmvj9/stock_markets_are_d… " Wake the hell up. It is the EARN IT Act. Everyone in crypto should be opposing it. If you can be sued for running a crypto node, are you going to? That is what will happen... Unless people start connecting the dots and implications of this evil bill, crypto will continue to go down. " " The EARN IT Act is far worse than the Patriot Act, because it threatens to undo the last 30 years of progress the internet has made in red pilling people about power and corruption. " " Trump and Bill Bar are basically striping the 230 protections so that you have to apply for them. They will set rules and decide who can get the protections. The 230 protections basically assign responsibility for user generated content on the poster of the content, not the hosting, website, or other entities. It provides a clear way for the internet to host free and open discussions without supposing that the any entity transmitting or housing the data is liable for the content being transmitted, hosted, or displayed by any individual or company that didn't create the content. Without this clarity of law, civil and criminal suits would basically kill the internet as we know it because every single entity on the internet would end up being very afraid of lawsuits for user generated content. In order for crypto to work it has to not care what the source of the data is or what it is for. If Trump and Barr get their way, the internet will become just as sanitized and "safe" as broadcast TV before the internet. This means that every crypto node will have to get permission from Barr (the DOJ) in order to operate on the internet. You can be sure that the rules will be such that particular transactions will have to be blocked if they demand it. So if you value what crypto represents, please pay attention to this bill and oppose it like it means the end of the internet as we know it. "

Parent jailed for "leaving" 9yo child in park with her friends and their parents
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Mar '20

The state of the USA: Forbidden Parenting https://www.zerohedge.com/political/forbidden-parenting https://townhall.com/columnists/johnstossel/2020/03/04/forbidden-parenting-… South Carolina mom Debra Harrell worked at McDonald's. She couldn't afford day care for Regina, her 9-year-old daughter, so she took her to work. But Regina was bored at McDonald's. One day, she asked if she could just play in the neighborhood park instead. "I felt safe there," tells me in my new video, "because I was with my friends and their parents." "She had her cellphone, a pocketbook with money in it," says Debra. "She had everything she needed." Regina was happy. Debra was happy. But one parent asked Regina where her mom was, and then called the police. Officers went to McDonald's and arrested Debra. In jail, they berated her. "You can't leave a child who is 9 years old in the park by herself!" said one officer. "What if some sex offender came by?" People interviewed by the media were also outraged. "What if a man came and just snatched her?" asked one. "This day and time, you never know who's around!" said another. But what are they talking about? Crime in America is way down, half what it was in the '90s. Reports of missing children are also down. If kids are kidnapped or molested, it's almost always by a relative or an acquaintance, not by a stranger in a park. Nevertheless, prosecutors charged Debra Harrell with "willful abandonment of a child," a crime that carries up to a 10-year sentence. They also took Regina away from her mom -- for two weeks. "I would cry as night because I was really scared," Regina told me. "I didn't know where I was, or what was going on." Fortunately, attorney Robert Phillips took Debra's case for free. He didn't like the way police and media portrayed her. "Here was this black female that society gives a hard time. 'Welfare queens, living at home, not getting a job!' Well, that's what she was doing," he said. "She was out working, trying the best she could to take care of her child. And now we're beating her up because we didn't like the way she took care of her child." The cops said that Harrell should have sent her daughter to day care. But even if she could have afforded it, it's not clear that day care is safer. "We found 42 incidents of sexual molestations, rapes in day cares," said Phillips. "We couldn't find (in South Carolina in the last 20 years) a single abduction in a park." Philips blames people in my business for scaring people about the wrong things. "The media has brought up this 'stranger danger' to where, if you're not under the protective wings of mom and dad 24/7, then you're exposing your child to some unknown danger." That has frightened police and child welfare workers into taking absurd steps when parents leave children alone. In Maryland, police accused parents of child neglect for letting their kids roam around their neighborhood. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/13/parents-investigated-… In Kentucky, after police reported a mom who left her kids in the car while she dashed into a store, child welfare workers strip-searched the kids to make sure they weren't being abused. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/05/22/how-dare-she-dash-muffins/ This doesn't protect kids. It mostly scares parents into depriving their kids of chances to learn. "When you don't let them spread their wings, that's when they get in trouble!" says Debra. She was fortunate that her case got enough attention that even Nikki Haley, then South Carolina's governor, asked that Regina be given back to her mom. Prosecutors finally dropped the child abandonment charge. It's just not right that when stranger kidnappings are increasingly rare, police and child welfare workers are more eager to punish parents who let kids play on their own. "A Utah law guarantees that giving kids some reasonable independence isn't 'neglect,'" says Lenore Skenazy, of the nonprofit Let Grow, "More states need this!" https://letgrow.org/ Of course, some parents are so neglectful that government should intervene. But as lawyer Phillips put it, they should intervene "only if you are subjecting your child to a real harm. We should not have unreasonable intrusions by the government telling us every little detail how to raise our children."

War on Crypto: EARN-IT Act - Sink the Clipper Chip

After lengthy debate and vigorous predictions of enforcement channels going dark, these attempts to regulate the emerging Internet were abandoned. In the intervening years, innovation on the Internet flourished, and law enforcement agencies found new and more effective means of accessing vastly larger quantities of data. Today we are again hearing calls for regulation to mandate the provision of exceptional access mechanisms. In this report, a group of computer scientists and security experts, many of whom participated in a 1997 study of these same topics, has convened to explore the likely effects of imposing extraordinary access mandates. We have found that the damage that could be caused by law enforcement exceptional access requirements would be even greater today than it would have been 20 years ago. In the wake of the growing economic and social cost of the fundamental insecurity of today's Internet environment, any proposals that alter the security dynamics online should be approached with caution. Exceptional access would force Internet system developers to reverse forward secrecy design practices that seek to minimize the impact on user privacy when systems are breached. The complexity of today's Internet environment, with millions of apps and globally connected services, means that new law enforcement requirements are likely to introduce unanticipated, hard to detect security flaws. Beyond these and other technical vulnerabilities, the prospect of globally deployed exceptional access systems raises difficult problems about how such an environment would be governed and how to ensure that such systems would respect human rights and the rule of law.

The company, called Banjo, says that it's combining this data with information collected from social media, satellites, and other apps. In its pitches to prospective clients, Banjo promises its technology, called "Live Time Intelligence," can identify, and potentially help police solve, an incredible variety of crimes in real-time. "include but may not be limited to speech recognition and natural language processing" as well as automatic scene detection, object recognition, and vehicle detection on real-time video footage pulled in. Banjo's pitch to state and local agencies is that the more data that's fed into it, the better its product will work... Privacy experts are unsure how Banjo can be doing anything other than applying machine learning to a terrifying amount of data to create a persistent panopticon pointed at everyone who lives in Utah.

Volcker (the Fed): “The American standard of living must decline” - End the Fed - [MONEY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Mar '20

08 Mar '20

Paul Volcker, chairman of the Fed, August 1979 to August 1987: “The American standard of living must decline” And indeed it has, just as the Aussie dollar has been gutted, so too has the US fiat. Paul Adolph Volcker Jr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Volcker Rabobank: "The Key Reason We Are In This Mess Is Due To Volcker" https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rabobank-key-reason-we-are-mess-due-volck… John Maynard Keynes: "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-12-09/end-epoch-report-8-dec The End of an Epoch, Report 8 Dec A fundamental change: "The Fed has gone from the financial bubble’s hostage to its guardian." https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trapped-when-will-we-know-they-lost-contr… Trapped (When Will We Know 'They' Lost Control?) "As asset markets have become so large, relative to the real economy, their turbulence determines the economic outlook and not, as is normally the case, the other way around. This is why the Fed has cut interest rates during the trade war, even with unemployment at historic lows. It views the ensuing market turbulence as a threat to the economy. The Fed has gone from the financial bubble’s hostage to its guardian." ... So why would the Fed worry about any "threat to the economy"? Could it be that about half a quintillion fiats of debt, ultimately "owed" to the BIS, via the Fed, is the control mechanism upon the world, used to dictate to parliaments, militaries and the people generally, what systems we are to have - what systems of government, which "regimes" must be overthrown by "our" militaries, and which financial instruments (e.g. debt vs credit paper issuance or "fiat printing") we are allowed to use ('member JFK briefly, just prior to his death, fired up the Greenback 'credit paper' printing press)? Why would the BIS insist that the entire world (minus NK, Iran and Venezuela, surprise surprise) is only allowed to print debt based fiats, and not credit based fiats? Could it be that the BIS and its (((owners))) want to pretend they own the world, and all of us too, and don't want us to have liberty, freedom, all those sorts of good things? If the BIS/Fed had actually managed to subdue NK, Iran and Venezuela, along with Iraq and Libya (remember Saddam and Qaddhafi), then the global hegemonic order might have been considered done, and the USD reset, and issuance of a New World Order debt based fiat, could have proceeded aplan. But Putin was not Saddam'ed, Qadhafi'ed or JFK'ed, and he stood by Syria, and effectively Iran, and has very publicly stated that nations have a right to their sovereignty, and that Russia values her own sovereignty very highly. So now it's a multi polar world and TPTB are jostling for power and control in the aftermath of their epic "all chips on the table" NWO failure. Perhaps this is the underlying economic/power reason that we remain in a kind of limbo? Perhaps TPTB cannot bear to reset the USD fiat system thus hastening the multi polar world, and are just zombie-ing along pitifully? ------ Imagine for moment, entirely hypothetically mind you, that you yourself are Monti Burns gleefully rubbing his hands together about a half a quintillion USD fiats "owed" to you, or rather, to the BIS. Now imagine that instead of real and substantial relationships built up over decades, you'd merely enslaved, bombed into submission, and indebted those 99% of nations that ARE a part of the BIS Federal Reserve system, and so all thinkers / observers in the world, are fundamentally pissed off with the way things are, and are just waiting for the bell to toll on the USD as they issue national currencies and finally shake off the cobwebs of the BIS? Would you not, in this entirely ficticious hypothetical, be a little annoyed that you 500 trillion fiats of debt owed to you, were about to "go up in smoke" the minute this debt based fiat system collapses under its exponential thus mathematically pre-ordained weight? Wouldn't this all be just, slightly annoying? And so perhaps you'd even consider lowering interest rates to less than zero and printing the firetruck out of those USD fiats, just to keep the bubble inflated while you try, vainly and pathetically, to figure out a better exit strategy? Not an enviable position to be in - from a purely "strategic problem space" perspective of course, since you still own all the relevant banks, media houses, corporations, militaries and governments. But still. Half a f@#king quintillion fiat dollars about to go up in smoke! Damn dude! What a decision to have to make?! What would Jesus do? What would you do? -- Seven day challenge muffas :D Put your dignity first, heh? ;)
